advanced formulas.

Adding a Quick Formula

The easiest way to perform a basic calculation using values in a range of adjacent

table cells is to add a quick formula using the Table Inspector’s Quick Formula pop-up

menu.

 Sum: Totals the values in the cells.

 Average: Calculates the arithmetic mean of the values in the cells.

 Min: Determines which value in the cells is the smallest.

 Max: Determines which value in the cells is the largest.

 Count: Determines how many of the values in the cells are numbers.

 Product: Multiplies all the values in the cells.

To perform a basic calculation using column values:

1

Select a range of adjacent cells in a column.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table Inspector button, and click Numbers.

3

Choose a formula from the Quick Formula pop-up menu.

Keynote places the formula and its result in the first empty cell below the selected

cells. If there is no empty cell, Keynote creates a new row to hold the result.

If the column has a header cell and you want the formula to use all the values in the

column, click the header cell before choosing the quick formula.

To perform a basic calculation using row values:

1

Select a range of adjacent cells in a row.
